Here's what This American Life is not: it's not a news show or a talk show or a call- 
in show. It's not formatted like other radio shows. Each episode has a theme, and 
there are a variety of productions on that theme. There are people in dramatic 
situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional 
moments and— hopefully— moments where the people in the story say interesting, 
surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun. (Adapted from 
the official This American Life about page.)
